I'm with her. Here's why we still need the electoral college

Hilary won the popular vote. That's a small relief to me. I'm still horrified. Like many others I initially jumped to the conclusion of racism and bigotry, jingoism and self interest. But I came across and article that helped me understand their mindset better. It also helped me think better of the people who voted for a candidate that I despise. It gave me some hope that maybe it was in spite of his moral deficiencies, not because of them. How Half Of America Lost Its F**king Mind
Please read it. It does not justify the moral atrocities of Trump, but it does help understand why, to many people, that morality comes second.

However justified they are in being frustrated with the status Quo (I am too, but for different reasons), they cannot defend the moral standing of Donald Trump, their chosen leader. By the standards of reasonable people, it cannot be done. They instead try argue that Donald Trump hasn't said many horrifying things, and threatened the well being of enormous portions of our population. So instead they try to bend facts. It's not that bad, liberal over-sensitivity etc(He didn't say that), (it's normal, all guys do that), (and discredit accusers) etc etc. It's infuriating to argue with people who won't acknowledge when their point has been lost, or who claim that there's no evidence, despite the fact that the whole world has seen and been shocked by the evidence.


To myself and many others it seems blindingly obvious that more votes should equal a win. Or so I thought so for quite some time.
Then I read this 
However, I do think the process needs reform. Republicans have control over district lines and as such have the advantage of manipulating electoral district lines.

There's no point in documenting here all of groups he has degraded and vilified. It's well covered. You know it, I know it. There's no point denying it.
I might post relevant articles if I come across them.

Some of his supporters and unquestionably racists, mysogenists, and the rest of the "basket of deplorables". But most of them are simply people with other priorities. The terrifying this is how much of the soul of this nation they are willing to sacrifice to get their No.1 priority.

So both camps have very valid points. Perhaps now's a good time to come together and try to make the system more fair. What do you think?

It's time we sorted out electorial issues once and for all. Give the power to set and maintain fairness to a non elected entity that is (somehow? suggestions?) non partisan.
